TWB 1 Feb 2018: Invitation...

When someone shows that many pointy teeth while inviting you to come with them, it would be ....unwise.... to refuse (not to mention impolite!) And Sandy should be grateful she's not as trussed up as Roger is.

But sometimes it feels like hauled in in chains and attached to a wall.

You have all the freedom not to attend this meeting, if your work is of a critical nature ... which often enough isn't quite enough to keep out of the meeting.

Back in the day, we had people who called meetings to justify their positions -- nothing actually took place and a quick visit to an office or two usually eliminated the need for the meeting, but that just annoyed these organisers and they'd then schedule more meetings.

One (the only?) good thing about my company's switch to Skype is that most meetings are held via it vs having to go to a conference room, so I can stay at my desk and goof off on the web, er, work on other stuff...

Too bad Skype doesn't seem to work in India based on all the complaints I'm hearing...

I think it would be slightly funnier if it was obvious that a little rope had been taken off of Roger, such as his shirt was just barely showing through in a couple of spots. But that's just me.
